Ingredients
Scale
Seafood
- 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 12 oz langostino or lobster
Vegetables
- 1 cup onion (chopped)
- ½ cup bell pepper (chopped)
Gravy
- 4 tbsp butter
- 5 tbsp flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tbsp garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp tarragon
Biscuit Topping
- 1 box Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup melted butter
Instructions
- Cook the Seafood: In a skillet or sauté pan over medium heat, cook the shrimp and langostino until just opaque and cooked through. Remove them from the pan and set aside to prevent overcooking.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, add chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Make the Gravy: To the sautéed vegetables, add butter and let it melt completely. Stir in flour to create a roux and cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream until smooth. Add minced garlic, thyme, and tarragon, seasoning the sauce. Let it simmer gently until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Combine Seafood with Gravy: Return the cooked shrimp and langostino to the pan, stirring to coat them well with the creamy herb sauce. Cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Assemble the Pot Pie: Pour the seafood mixture into a baking dish or divide evenly into ramekins.
- Prepare Biscuit Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix with milk according to package instructions until just combined. Fold in shredded cheddar cheese gently.
- Top and Bake: Spread the biscuit batter evenly over the seafood mixture. Drizzle melted butter over the biscuit topping to ensure a golden crust.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 14-16 minutes or until the biscuit topping turns golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Notes
- You can substitute langostino with lobster or additional shrimp if preferred.
- Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried for a more vibrant flavor.
- If you want a thicker gravy, cook it slightly longer before adding seafood.
- The biscuit topping can be portioned into ramekins for individual servings.
- Leftover pot pie can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
